Zeeb <bz@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2021-10-06 18:09:39 +0000 Commit: Ed Maste <emaste@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2022-02-14 22:00:13 +0000 net80211: correct length check in ieee80211_ies_expand() In ieee80211_ies_expand() we are looping over Elements (also known as Information Elements or IEs). The comment suggests that we assume well-formedness of the IEs themselves. Checking the buffer length being least 2 (1 byte Element ID and 1 byte Length fields) rather than just 1 before accessing ie[1] is still good practise and can prevent and out-of-bounds read in case the input is not behaving according to the comment.
